A propos de cet article

First Edition. Hardcover. Signed by Shaw. Shaw, George Bernard. THE DOCTOR'S DILEMMA. Getting Married, & The Shewing-up of Blanco Posnet. Inscribed. London: Constable & Co., 1911. Sm. 8vo., 407pp., pale green cloth, gilt, t.e.g. A very good or better example of the first edition, first printing. Three plays in one volume, including a list of other works by Shaw at the end of the book. This copy inscribed on the half-title in black fountain pen: "To Robert Loraine / from Bernard Shaw. / 23rd Feb. 1911". Laurence Loraine [1876-1935] was a man of action: actor-manager, soldier, aviator, Fabian and of course, a close friend to Shaw - perhaps best known as an actor he's seen most commonly on holiday with the Shaws and Harley Granville-Barker or at Fabian events. Loraine and Shaw shared political affiliations and a passion for theatre: it was Loraine who premiered as the lead in Man and Superman on Broadway, the production was massively successful and launched Shaw as a force to be reckoned with in the United States. A significant association copy.
